Slide Nightclub

In my quest to seek out new venues i’ve come across a nice new gay/​lesbian bar which seems to be tucked away out of site, the bar? Well its called ‘Slide’ and is based on Ann’s Street, Belfast.
Its a persian styled venue with table service on one floor and on another a small but comfortably sized dance floor, considering this is like a well kept secret size here really isnt important.
The staff were extremly friendly and welcoming which is a plus point considering some of the other LGB venues in belfast tend to employ staff who dont exactly know how to smile.
For those who cant find it, its above Little Wings Pizzeria, on Anns Street Belfast.

Slide is a newly opened gay friendly bar/​club bang in the centre of Belfast. It is situated on the top floor of an old Victorian building and in order to get up there you enter by a little door next to the pizza parlour and you have to climb a lot of steep narrow stairs — I’m not grumbling but it was kind of hard in heels. The bar itself is situated on two levels. In the lower bar there is a massive bed which patrons can feel free to lounge on while they drink — the first night I saw it there were about 8 people on it — cosy! The music was so good — from Florence and the Machine to Stevie Wonder, our group danced the night away without being squashed as the dance floor was only comfortably crowded and the bar was easy to get too, which for me makes the night. I do remember dancing on top of a speaker and theoretically playing a full sized piano placed near the dance floor — thankfully it doesn’t make any sound.
As far as I’m concerned there were only two drawbacks to slide: the smoking area is tiny and not sheltered and the toilets are one floor down — narrow, steep stairs and booze isn’t a great combination.
All in all a fun-​filled night — I’ll be sliding again soon.
